Warnings
To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage
•Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating it.
•Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials.
•If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners.
•NEVER leave any items on the rangetop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers which may cause them to burst.
•Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.
•Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot. DO NOT leave plastic items on the range as they may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a lighted surface burner.
•Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items may become hot and cause burns. DO NOT pour spirits over hot foods. DO NOT leave oven unsupervised when drying herbs, breads, mushrooms, etc; fire hazard.
In Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish flame then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.
•Cooktop: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.
•NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
•Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door. DO NOT use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or flame.
•GREASE–Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. DO NOT use water on grease fires. Flaming grease can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam type extinguisher. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. DO NOT allow grease to collect around the oven or in vents. Wipe up spillovers immediately.
Child Safety
•NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is still hot.
•NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they could be injured or burned.
•DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.
Warnings
Child Safety (cont.)
•Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children.
Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the appliance.
Cooking Safety
•To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly above a unit. If storage is provided, it should be limited to items which are used infrequently and which are safe to store in an area subjected to heat from an appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or
aerosol sprays.
•ALWAYS place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface burner. Make sure the correct burner is turned on and that the burner has ignited. When cooking is completed, turn burner off before removing pan to prevent exposure to burner flame.
•ALWAYS adjust surface burner flame so that it does not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.
This is based on safety considerations.
•NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible.
•DO NOT use high heat for extended cooking operations.
•DO NOT heat unopened food containers, build up of pressure may cause the container to explode and result in injury.
•Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may cause burns from steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used as potholders because they can trail across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
•ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before attempting to move or handle.
•DO NOT let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan off.
•NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles. DO NOT drape towels or materials on oven door handles. These items could ignite and cause burns.

Warnings
Cooking Safety (cont.)
•ALWAYS place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy pot-holders.
•ALWAYS avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry pot-holder.
•ALWAYS turn the oven off at the end of cooking.
•Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before moving or replacing food.
•NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven bottom. This could result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this guide.
•NEVER cook with the oven door open. This could result in control panel and knobs reaching a higher than normal temperature.
•PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer's instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container. The food could be contaminated.
•If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control.
•Once the unit has been installed as outlined in the Installation Instructions, it is important that the fresh air supply is not obstructed. The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well-ventilated. Keep natural venting holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device. Prolonged or intensive use of the appliance may call for additional (such as opening a window) or more effective ventilation (such as increasing the level of a mechanical ventilation if present).
Utensil Safety
•Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-handled pans. Also avoid using pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move when filled with food may also be hazardous.
•Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.
•To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, DO NOT extend handles over adjacent surface burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached by small children.
•NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the appliance.
•Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven cooking bags.
Warnings
Utensil Safety (cont.)
•Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop surface or oven usage without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow manufacturer's instructions when using glass.
•This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. DO NOT use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this guide. DO NOT use eyelid covers for the surface units, stovetop grills, or add-on oven convection systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.
•The flame of the burner should be adjusted to just cover the bottom of the pan or pot. Excessive burner setting may cause scorching of adjacent counter-top surfaces, as well as the outside of the utensil. This is based on safety considerations.
Heating Elements
•NEVER touch oven bake and broil burner areas or interior surfaces of oven.
•Bake and broil burners may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near burners and interior surfaces of an oven may become hot enough to cause burns.
•During and after use, DO NOT touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements, areas near elements, or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to cause burns, such as the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, and the oven door window.
Cleaning Safety
•Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or cleaning them. DO NOT touch the burner grates or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
•Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
•DO NOT clean door gasket. It is essential for a good tight seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
•No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating such as aluminum foil should be used in or around any part of the oven. Improper oven liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. Keep oven free from grease buildup.
